MedalSeries Tasty Toppers Turkey Recipe Freeze-Dried Topper
Verified Jun 14, 2026
This is a high-protein, freeze-dried raw turkey topper designed to be added to your dog’s regular food, not used as a complete diet. It features turkey meat, heart, liver, and necks as rich animal protein sources, with pumpkin, kale, broccoli, and blueberries for added nutrients. The freeze-drying process helps retain flavor and nutrients while making it easy to sprinkle over kibble or use as a high-value treat.
Nutritionally, this topper is a very meat-heavy, calorie-dense option that can boost the protein and palatability of your dog’s regular food. It’s best suited for healthy dogs who are already eating a complete and balanced diet, and whose owners want to add a freeze-dried raw component or use it as a high-value reward. Because it’s supplemental only and quite rich, it needs to be used in moderation and not as the main diet.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very high protein and fat levels from multiple named turkey ingredients, providing rich animal-based nutrition.
- Includes organ meats (heart and liver) plus bone, which naturally supply many vitamins and minerals when used as a supplement.
- Contains added fruits and vegetables like pumpkin, kale, broccoli, and blueberries that contribute fiber and phytonutrients.
- Freeze-dried format preserves nutrients and makes it easy to use as a topper or treat without handling raw meat directly.
Considerations
- Labeled for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, so it should not replace a complete and balanced diet as the main food.
- High fat and calorie density mean it should be fed sparingly, especially for dogs prone to weight gain or with fat-sensitive conditions.
- Turkey, including organ meats, can trigger issues in dogs with poultry allergies or sensitivities.
- Raw-style products, even when freeze-dried, may not be ideal for pets or households where stricter food safety precautions are needed.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Turkey
Turkey is commonly used as a primary animal protein in dog and cat foods, offering highly digestible, high‑quality protein and supplying essential amino acids along with B vitamins, phosphorus and zinc to support muscle maintenance and metabolism. Its fat level varies by cut so products can be lean or richer; some pets may develop allergies to poultry, cooked bones are hazardous, raw meat carries bacterial risk, and owners should rely on balanced commercial formulations (and ensure adequate taurine for cats) if turkey is a main ingredient.
02
Turkey Heart
Turkey heart is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods as a high-quality protein and palatability ingredient that also provides essential amino acids (including taurine), B vitamins, iron, zinc and other trace minerals. It can be especially beneficial for cats because of its taurine content and for dogs as a nutrient-dense protein source, but should be included in balanced amounts (not as the sole diet component) and handled/processed properly to avoid pathogens or intolerance in sensitive pets.
03
Turkey Liver
Turkey liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods as a protein-rich, palatability-enhancing ingredient and a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12), iron, and copper. It offers nutritional benefits for metabolism and skin/coat health but should be included in moderation within a balanced diet to avoid vitamin A excess and high purine intake, and must be properly handled or cooked to reduce foodborne risks.
04
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is used in pet foods primarily as a fiber-rich carbohydrate and moisture source that can help regulate digestion and firm up loose stools or add bulk for softer stools, and it provides beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) plus small amounts of vitamins and minerals for dogs and cats. It is safe and beneficial when plain cooked or canned (not spiced or sweetened pie filling), should be fed in moderation as a supplement rather than a primary food, and introduced gradually since large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset or interfere with absorption of some medications.
05
Turkey Neck
Turkey neck is a raw meaty bone commonly used in pet diets as a protein-rich, calcium/phosphorus source and recreational chew, providing muscle meat, bone, cartilage and connective tissue that supply protein, minerals and naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin. They can help with dental abrasion and joint support but carry risks of choking, gastrointestinal obstruction, tooth fracture and bacterial contamination if raw, so they should be size-appropriate, supervised during feeding, never given cooked, and used as part of a balanced diet after consulting your veterinarian.
